In a union as unexpected as a teapot on a Marshall stack, classic rock royalty and Sunset Strip legends have come together for a high-seas sonic adventure.
Bob Daisley – the thunderous bassist behind Ozzy Osbourne’s Blizzard Of Ozz – teams up with Mick Box, the eternal guitar maestro of Uriah Heep, and the glam-leaning, groove-heavy BulletBoys to reimagine the Doobie Brothers’ anthem, “Taking It To The Streets”… in full yacht metal regalia.
The title track to the Doobies’ sixth album in 1976, “Taking It To The Streets” was both composed and sung the band’s newly-acquired frontman Michael McDonald, and swiftly became one of their biggest hits yet, a #13 Billboard smash. Years later, that same magazine elected it the Doobie Brothers’ third greatest song, and of course, it’s been a yacht rock staple since before there was even a yacht to rock it on.
Well, now it’s on course to become a metal staple too, as the BulletBoys – no strangers to turning up the heat on classic tunes – bring their characteristic Sunset Strip swagger and vocal bravado to the mix, crafting a version that glides as smoothly as a speedboat in Monaco but hits like a bottle of Jack at soundcheck. And with Daisley and Box on the deck alongside them, you know that soundcheck is gonna be loud.
Produced in Los Angeles with a mix of analogue warmth and digital bite, this yacht metal version of “Taking It To The Streets” is more than a cover – it’s a seafaring reinvention, custom-built for late-night drives, dive-bar jukeboxes, and yes, possibly the top deck of a dubious cruise liner.
The track releases in a week, on June 26, across all streaming platforms, while Yacht Metal—a limited-edition vinyl compilation filled with similar reinventions—approaches its launch every day.
So polish your deck shoes, crank up the stereo, and prepare to set sail on the smoothest, loudest voyage you didn’t know you needed.
